A federal grand jury has filed an additional indictment against three Lower Keys brothers already facing charges of harvesting spiny lobsters from illegal habitat called casitas, catching more than their daily commercial bag limit, and falsifying commercial fishing reports to conceal their take.

 

Fishermen Charles and Tyson Veach and their company, Super Grouper Inc. of Stock Island, have been additionally charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office with selling illegally caught lobster on three dates in August, according to court documents.

 

The pair are accused of selling 370 pounds of lobster on Aug. 15, selling 437 pounds on Aug. 18 and selling 451 pounds on Aug. 19.

 

A third brother, Ryan Veach, was charged previously in an indictment handed down in August.
